Nine and a half months

Well, little one, we are ready for you. Seems that you are not quite ready for the world, and the first lesson you are going to teach me is one of patience. I had this notion in my head that you would come floating out a few weeks early and give us the whole summer to enjoy you. But patience, you say with you little kicks and flutters, I'm not quite ready yet. So we are easing into the heat of summer with house projects, lazy afternoons of reading, baking projects, and my new hobby of braiding garlic that Matthew grew in the garden.
I didn't realize how big I was until we took a few pictures this morning...
This afternoon we are going to the river for what will probably be the final raft of the season.
